What causes love to fade in a relationship?

That's a good question

Complacency

Not enough communication

maybe you could answer it

Complacency

you have to question if it has faded was it ever really love at all..

failure to feed the circle. like pedaling with one foot, eventually you're going nowhere.

top 10 list! (sorta off topic, but it does deal with fading!)


10. Age at Marriage. Most attorneys suggest waiting until at least 30 to marry. Not one single attorney polled suggested getting married at a young age.

9. Being Opposites. The saying goes opposites attract but divorce attorneys advice couples to be more alike than different in order to last.

8. Sex. A sexless marriage of more than days or weeks at a time will not last.

7. The Grass is Greener. After spending many years in the field, attorneys advice the grass is never greener.

6. The In-Law Factor. Parents who won't stay out of their kids lives are a major reason for divorce.

5. Infidelity. Lawyers say this is rarely the only problem the relationship is having. There are usually big problems around infidelity.

4. Second Marriages. Most second marriages fail and there are two basic reasons- 1.) The new spouse is too much like the old spouse and 2.) The raising of step children and dealing with former spouses is too much pressure.

3. The Marriage Fix. Thinking that marriage, a priest or a minister will change essential attributes of the bride or groom never works.

2. Drug and Alcohol Addiction. One third of all marriages end because the addiction is going untreated.

1. Disillusionment. Whirlwind romances and brief courtships make people vulnerable to disillusionment. It's just too easy to paint a rosy picture of the relationship.

I think u hit it right on the head.
